Astro 25 Portable CPS crashing while trying to disable FPP zones

Hey y'all, hope you're staying safe amidst the current ridiculousness. This is my first post here so I'll do a little introduction but I'll keep it brief:
I'm an infantryman in the Marine Corps but any former or current service members will know that everyone in the military has more than one job, one of my many jobs is being a radio operator and technician for my section. I mostly work with Harris radios using SINCGARS but I do program XTS2500's and PRC 153's for work. Got into radios for recreation, got an amateur license, love Motorola radios and wish they were more Ham friendly, but back on topic:
I'm working with an XTS5000 model III that has federal/FCC FPP enabled with the most recent firmware, DSP, all that good stuff, if needed I can go more in depth about this radio but I think this is a problem with CPS so I won't unless someone asks. My computer is running Windows 10 64 bit. Using CPS R 20.01.00 I open the zone channel assignment on the tree view, I go to the FPP/protection tab on zone 15 (highest zone number programmed) and I uncheck the box for FPP. CPS provides me with the warning saying it will delete the channels if I disable FPP in that zone (which is what I want, attempting to delete all but two zones of FPP) but then after I get the hourglass icon for a few seconds (like 20) CPS closes with no warning, crash report from windows or anything like that. I tried reinstalling it, I tried it with a freshly read codeplug from my radio and with a codeplug from my hard drive, always closes out when I try to disable FPP. I have not been successful finding someone with the same problem on the internet.
Any ideas?
